Return of spectators a vital step to secure racing’s future

December 2, 2020 By Steve Adams

Crowds return to racing today at Haydock, Lingfield, Ludlow and Kempton, with a maximum of 2,000 spectators permitted at each of the courses. However all 4 courses expect to number their actual attendance in three figures rather than four.

Key Takeaways:

  • No alcohol will be served, but in other respects the raceday experience will be as close to normal as social distancing protocols permit.
  • Spectators will obviously have a fantastic view of the racing itself, and there will be good access to the parade ring and winner’s enclosure.
  • A sell-out crowd of 2,000 fans will watch horses race over the Grand National fences on Saturday.

Cheltenham will need to find a new sponsor for its most prestigious race after the cider-maker Magners said that it will not take up an option to back the Gold Cup in 2022 after its initial three-year contract ends next March.

Where You Can Go Racing This December

December 1, 2020 By Steve Adams

From Wednesday, 2nd December, spectators will be allowed into certain racecourses in England following a relaxation of government coronavirus restrictions.

Courses in Tier 2 areas can host up to 2,000 spectators (there are no racecourses in Tier 1).

The Racing Post have reviewed the December fixture list and identified which race meetings spectators maybe able to attend, although they state each course will have their own restrictions and are likely to give precedence to annual members.

In their recent article they provided details of which courses fall into Tier 2, which are Tier 3 and therefore can not allow spectators and which are in Wales or Scotland, yet to be determined.

With tiers due to be reviewed on the 16th December, things may change for race meetings later in the month.
